Chapter 1 Lost in Thought
Olivia sat there on her bed, sighing. Two months ago, she had completely lost the connection she had with Wen. Literally.
Before he left, they promised that they would talk every day, whether it was talking on the phone, texting, or video calling. But ever since he hasn't texted her back, she's been worried something has happened. Good or Bad.
She lied down sighing once again, remembering the moment they shared one year ago.
It had been about one month after the Madison Square Garden performance. They had already performed more than 20 shows in that month.
Wen started not showing up in practices and everyone was worried after the third day.
"Hey Liv, what's happened to Wen?" Stella asked, rather mad.
We couldn't play ANY of our songs without our rapper and keyboardist. There was a big concert tomorrow. Everyone turned their heads to look at Olivia.
"I don't know. Why is everyone...looking at me?" Olivia asked quietly, looking down from the intent staring of the four band members.
"Because it seems like you would know most on the information of Wen." Mo said, putting her arm around Olivia's shoulder while Scott had his around her waist.
"How about going to visit him? Maybe he's sick?" Charlie suggested.
Everyone agreed in unison and grabbed their bags.
We all arrived in front of his house, finding a gigantic moving truck parked outside in his driveway. A 'SOLD' sign was stuck in his front lawn.
We heard the front door open and saw a certain red-head step out yelling, "OKAY MOM! I'll go tell them...I'll be back in an hour to help the movers!"
"WEN! What's going on?" Stella shouted at him, while the rest of us had our eyes stuck on the moving truck and 'SOLD' sign.
He turned over with a guilty look, and slowly walked toward us like he was walking toward his death.
Stella stomped over, anger piercing through her face. She shook him by the shoulders and pointed to the two things the rest of the band was still staring at. "WOULD. YOU. CARE. TO. EXPLAIN?" She screamed.
The other band members finally awakened from their trance and ran over.
Charlie grabbed Stella and restrained her from choking Wen.
Olivia spoke first, "Umm...Wen?"
Wen looked down at his shoes, shuffling his feet "I'm moving...like...today..."
"WHAT? HOW DARE YOU TELL US TODAY! WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO LEMONADE MOUTH? AND OLIVIA? AND THE REST OF US?" Stella yelled at the top of her lungs, reaching for Wen.
Charlie restrained her as much as possible as Scott pulled Wen at least five feet away from Stella.
"...You're moving?.." Olivia whispered, so softly only Wen and Mo could hear since Mo had her arms around Olivia.
"..I'm so sorry..." Wen said, looking up slowly to meet Olivia's watered eyes.
"I understand..Promise me we'll keep in touch." Olivia said softly, letting her tears drop.
Mo watched with sadness, knowing they had feelings for each other. It felt like a drama. Forbidden Love.
"Of course Liv." He took both of her hands and then hugged her, wiping away her tears.
Stella had calmed down from seeing the sad goodbye scene, and had put a hand on Olivia's shoulder.
They all sat down on the grass for the last time. And Mo started singing More Than a Band.
Olivia was crying into Wen's shoulder as he held her.
Scott had his arms wrapped around Mo while she sung.
Everyone joined in besides Olivia, she was crying too hard to sing.
When they finished the song, they all glanced at each other and passed knowing glances.
"WENDELL! IT'S TIME TO GO!" Wen's mom's voice rang through the silence.
They all stood up, as Stella pulled him into a hug, whispering, "You better keep in touch or else" in his ear.
Then she let go as Mo hugged him tightly that he could barely breathe.
Wen then turned to a crying Olivia and hugged her, telling her that it was okay.
When he pulled away, all six of them did the special handshake and shouted, "LEMONADE MOUTH FOREVER."
Wen looked at Olivia again before he left, and stepped up to her, and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll be back someday." He whispered softly into her ear.
She hugged him tightly, burying her face into his shirt. Then she watched as Wen got into the car. The whole band, minus Wen, was holding hands and staring as the Wen's Family's car disappeared.
Olivia sighed again and a she jumped when Breakthrough played through her phone. She grabbed her phone in a hurry, wishing it was Wen, but of course fate wasn't on her side.
"Hi Mo," she said into the phone.
"Liv, where are you? We've been waiting at Dantes for 20 minutes already." Mo replied.
She had totally forgotten about the meeting of her 4 best friends.
"I'll be right there!" she said, as she hung up. She grabbed her jacket with a sigh and went out the door.
